This excerpt, which originally appeared in “Republic of
Outsiders: The Power of Amateurs, Dreamers, and Rebels”, exposes the
growth and importance of the meat-cultured technology seeking to end
the animal-agriculture industry and therefore the most massive
cruelty to animals, while also providing healthier meat products.
Alongside, researchers such as Patrick Brown, a vegan professor at
Stanford University, seek to develop better plant-based "meats" in
order to reduce our footprint on the planet.

Ultimately,
ending animal-based agriculture is a survival imperative and a
spiritual imperative. Cruelty, disease, pollution, devastation and
much suffering have their roots at the exploitation of God’s
animals. Finding a way to a harmonious and joyous existence
alongside all other creatures involves not eating them.
